I'm 40 years old and I'm fairly certain I'd have soiled myself if I had seen that thing coming down the hall at me. Brilliant bit of puppeteering. Here is a funny clip from Regis and kelly... the put a T-Rex out on Columbus Circle in NYC...

Has anyone bothered to consider that the ducks are still inside the glacier? Studies are showing that, while the outer edges of the glacier are melting, the interior of the glacier is actually gaining mass. So the glacier is... what? receding... like at the end of an ice age.. like part of the natural cycle of Earth's cooling and warming. Just sayin'.

I checked the Louisiana State Bar, there is a Mr. Peter John, licensed to practice law with the O'Neal law firm. They defend "serious" murder and drug charges. Being a lawyer, I fear for the future of my profession.

I've got a friend who rants "I have to pay the city to get a license to put a worm on a hook and drop it in the water but ANYONE can have a kid...

Case in point.

I think it's extremely important. I'm a lawyer; brain work all week. But on my days of, I like to work with my hands. On my car, I've done alternators, water-pumps, radiators, body work, and with nothing but simple tools. I recently rebuilt my condo kitchen and bathroom from the studs. I can also load up and trouble shoot a computer and darn socks. I think it IS important to know how things work and how to get dirty do the job. It builds character, knowledge, an analytical mind and useful skills. We have become way too lazy and way too dependent on others to do simple and difficult tasks that just a generation or two ago, our fathers and mothers wouldn't have thought twice to do.
